Video: Setting the time zone of an appointment

So you're currently in California about to fly to New York where there you'll have a 3 o'clock PM appointment. How do we enter this on our calendar? When creating an appointment in Outlook 2007 you can click the Time Zones button from the Appointment tab on the Ribbon. This will display additional choices for setting the start and end time of your appointment. Choose the appropriate time zones for start and end and Outlook will keep track of everything accordingly. Note that this method of scheduling works seamlessly with meeting requests.

In Outlook 2007 Power Shortcuts, author David Diskin shares an assortment of time-saving tips and tricks to maximize efficiency and productivity in Outlook 2007. The course covers tips for organizing and sending email, working with tasks, scheduling appointments, and maintaining contact lists. Also included are tutorials on email etiquette, Outlook customization, and much more. A quick reference guide to shortcut keys accompanies the course.

I'll indicate Eastern as my Finish Time Zone and enter the exact time that theticket says I'll be arriving.Here I specified my flight leaves at 10 o'clock Pacific Time, landing at 5o'clock PM Eastern Time.Here is my flight and I'm ready to go.With Time Zones under our belt let's cover one more useful setting, theTimescale, and for that, let's move onto the next video.
